The New York State Department of Transportation would like to advise you that there will be lane closures and new traffic patterns on the Meadowbrook State Parkway and the Loop Parkway in the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County.

Starting on Tuesday, September 15th, at 10p.m., The left lane in both directions of the Loop Parkway on the bridge over Reynolds Channel will be closed to establish a new, temporary traffic pattern. Westbound traffic will then be shifted onto the eastbound side of the bridge, and one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction. This traffic pattern is expected to be in place through the end of the year.

Starting on or about September 15, the right lane on the southbound Meadowbrook State Parkway will be closed at the bridges over Fundy Channel and False Channel, through the end of November.

This above will be done to facilitate rehabilitation on two bridges on the Meadowbrook State Parkway and one bridge on the Loop Parkway. The speed limit at all three locations will be reduced from 55 MPH to 45 MPH to ensure the safety of the highway workers and traveling public.

This poster will be distributed throughout New York State and should encourage people to make safe choices before getting in the car and while on the road.

The winner of the Traffic Safety Poster Challenge will have their artwork displayed on posters and billboards across New York State. The winner will also receive a Thinkfast Traffic Safety Presentation for their school.

In response to numerous complaints, and at the direction of the City Council, the Long Beach Police Department has reached out to the private ambulatory companies that service the city's retirement homes and rehabilitation facilities reminding them the use of lights and sirens should be reserved for emergency purposes only. As a result, we have seen a significant drop in the number of noise complaints related to these vehicles. The quality of life of our residents is important to us and we encourage you to utilize our non-emergency number (516/431-1800) to alert us to any such issues.

From the NYS Dept of Transportation:

Starting August 17, 2026, H & L Contracting, will be working at night between 10PM and 5AM, Monday-Friday, on the Meadowbrook Parkway bridges over False and Fundy channels and Loop Parkway over Reynolds Channel. The work will include saw cutting and demolition of the median barriers on the bridges. This work will require two lanes to be closed in each direction on Meadowbrook Parkway from just north of the False Channel to south of Fundy Channel. One lane of traffic will be maintained throughout the work zone. On Loop Parkway Single Lane closures are to be expected.

As with most highway projects, work may be cancelled, postponed, or prolonged due to inclement weather.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and drive carefully through the work zone for their safety and the safety of the highway work crew.

NYSDOT and H & L are mindful of the impacts this construction activity may have to the surrounding community, and every effort will be made to keep inconveniences to a minimum. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of motorists and the local community while this project is undertaken.
